The Supernatural Reunion in Episode 5
The main reason for the attention on this specific episode is the guest appearance of Jared Padalecki and Misha Collins. They join Jensen Ackles for a full reunion of the main trio from the long-running series Supernatural. Showrunner Eric Kripke, who worked on both shows, confirmed their roles.
Jared Padalecki plays a character named Mister Marathon. In the world of The Boys, Mister Marathon is a speedster who was a former member of The Seven. He was the “fastest man” before being replaced by A-Train. Given that A-Train was killed by Homelander in the first episode of this season, Mister Marathon enters the story at a very interesting time.
Eric Kripke explained the tone of their characters, stating they are not good people.
“They show up in episode 5. What I love about what they’re doing is they’re just such douchebags. It’s great. They’re really not morally upstanding dudes.”
Jensen Ackles, who plays Soldier Boy, described the reunion scene as “a messy one”. The three actors filmed together, creating a lot of excitement for fans who watched them on Supernatural for fifteen years.

What Has Happened So Far in Season 5
Before episode 5 arrives, it helps to know where the story stands. The season started with a two-episode premiere on April 8. The biggest event so far is the death of A-Train (Jessie T. Usher). After helping The Boys escape from a prison camp, A-Train ran from Homelander. He dodged an innocent woman to avoid hurting her, which caused him to trip. Homelander (Antony Starr) caught him and snapped his neck.
Eric Kripke said the writers wanted to prove that “nobody is safe” in the final season. They felt killing a major character from the very first episode was necessary to raise the stakes. The season also follows Butcher (Karl Urban) , who has a virus that can kill all Supes, while Homelander runs the country like a dictator.
